Interesting analogy to political treason. Executions among other extreme penalties are imposed to protect inherently precarious human governments. It seems only God, being secure, can afford grace.

Jesus wept over Jerusalem as He pronounced judgment over it, which was fulfilled in 70 AD. God doe not take delight in condemning the unrepentant, but He still does so. "I don't like spiders and snakes...."

@zach2980 Hypothetically though if what you’re saying is true, that more will end up in hell, Jesus still wins. He still reigns supreme and all His elect will be saved, He doesn’t lose any of His sheep. No matter what, God is good and He is just and Holy and satan is defeated. The number of souls saved doesn’t affect that.

Grace was always present From before the foundation of the world Christ was crucified After Adam and Eve sinned, He killed the animal and covered them The Prophecy was given that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the serpent Cain received mercy when he said his punishment was more than he could bear Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness before the Law of circumcision was given

We must believe in the words of Jesus John the Baptist said, “he that believes the Son has life, and he that believes not the Son shall not see life (God), but the wrath of God abides on him” (John 3:36). This means it doesn't matter at all when people pick out verses at random in the Bible just to say Jesus is God. There is not one verse in the entire Bible that proves this because Jesus is NOT God. Jesus came to proclaim the Father (John 1:18, Matthew 11:27) and His word, spirit, power, and glory. If only people would stop and receive God's Holy Spirit would they understand John 14:26. They would know it's impossible for Jesus to be God. When we listen to Jesus’ every word, we will inherit life; if you reject his words, it will be death (John 12:48-50).

Not one verse? John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Matthew 12:8 “For the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Mark 14:62 Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” (see Daniel 7) John 8:58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” Revelation 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” I think what Jesus is saying is that He is God. He was not crucified for claiming to be The Messiah or a messiah. Many people have done that and we're simply shunned or cast away. He was crucified for saying that He IS God. If He claimed to be God and didn't raise from the dead as He said He would, then that would have proven that He wasn't God. BUT HE DID RAISE FROM THE DEAD. That proves He IS Who He said He is. I think He is calling us to believe Him. So, you should too.

@@derekmunson3695 He’s saying he isn’t God. Jesus says it is his Father who raises him, not himself. By definition, if Jesus was raised from the dead by the Father, then it is the Father who is God. Why would Jesus go back to the Father if he himself is God? Why would Jesus speak only what the Father commands him if Jesus himself is God? Jesus is the Messiah-he cannot be both the Messiah and God simultaneously. Jesus did not come to teach us of himself as God; he came as the glory of the Father. He came to earth as the glory of God; not as God, but to teach us about the Father. In mark 14:61, the high priest asks jesus if he is the *son of the blessed,* in which jesus says ‘I am.’ never once does jesus say he is god-he *always* claims to be god’s son. Jesus is most certainly not God. To say he is when he said he wasn’t is blasphemy. Only the Father is God, and Jesus is the way to him: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man *cometh unto the Father,* but by me." John 14:6 "God hath in these last days *spoken unto us by his son,* whom he hath *appointed heir of all things,* by whom also *he made the worlds.”* Hebrews 1:2 "Jesus answered, if I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is *my Father* that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that *he [the Father] is your God:"* John 8:54 "I can of mine own self *do nothing:* as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because *I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."* John 5:30

And also because God as Jesus limited himself to the physical, He understands our pain, He can relate with our suffering. We can come to Him with our pain and suffering and He understands because he felt the pain and felt the betrayal on a level we never will. Because no one has been betrayed the way our savior was betrayed.

@@AnnaJabouri God isn’t Jesus at all. Jesus is the Son of God, as stated in scripture. People *must* understand this. God, the Father, gives all of his creations free will. Jesus, who was created by God before the foundations of the world, has free will. Jesus chooses to do the will of the Father; it has nothing to do with God being Jesus and becoming human. Jesus became human, not God; Jesus, in the image of the invisible and living God (Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:2-3) was manifested in the flesh to be the glory of the Father (John 1:14). God created all things and speaks to us BY his Son and has *appointed him the heir* of all things. The Father appointed the Son. No man has seen or heard God, yet Jesus walked and talked amongst us. It goes against his word to say Jesus is God in any shape or form. The Father, who is the one true God, is in heaven as He has always been (John 17:3).

⁠@@user-rj8py9ld3jTitus 2:13 “…. waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ…” Jude 1:4 “For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” Is God or Jesus your only Lord and master? Hint, it’s both, because Jesus is God. The apostles believed Jesus is God. Other verses from Christ Himself have been given here already a I refrained from posting them again. You are mistaken. Jesus is God, God the Son, the second person of the Trinity.
